Learn about a 108-bead mala and how it can support counting in practice.
A 108-bead mala is a strand of beads often used to mark each recitation. It can offer tactile structure, so you do not have to keep calculating while maintaining a practice rhythm.
如何修習
Hold the mala comfortably, move one bead after each phrase, and keep a slow pace. If counting takes all of your attention, set the number aside and simply follow the feeling of touch.
從短暫練習開始，選擇適合您的節奏，並允許自己明天再回來。
- 選擇一小段時間，例如五分鐘。
- 需要時放慢速度，留意正在發生的事。
- 以鐘聲或一次有意識的呼吸作結。

Do I need to do it perfectly?
